Workbench and AmigaOS are exactly the same thing...in the beginning it was called Workbench (sometimes referred to as Intuition) but now is called AmigaOS...........dont listen to what anyone else tells you.....they will confuse you with technical jargon.

Nope, it the beginning it was planned to be CAOS but it wasn't gonna be ready for the Amiga launch so they ported Tripos and called it AmigaDOS instead.
see AmigaForever.com for more.
or In the beginning was CAOS by Andy Finkel(CBM-Amiga software manager)

in the beginning it was called Workbench (sometimes referred to as Intuition)

Workbench and Intuition are two totally different things, but I'll save you the technical jargon so save confusing you ;-)

The PC BIOS also has some nonvolatile memory that the Amiga does not have.

Not all PCs have NVRam, some (especially older ones) store the BIOS settings in the CMOS RAM in the RTC chip..just like the A3000 does with SCSI settings.
